Hi, I have some svg content embedded inside an xml document. I am reading through the dom and when I find the svg I am trying to convert it into an svg document.
The svg xml is identified with an xmlns="...". If I create a new generic document then import the svg node and add it as the root document node. I have the equivalent of the svg document I want. Then to convert it into a batik svg document I try to use DOMUtilities.deepCloneDocument(...) this only gives back a document with a generic root element (which will cause an npe if I try to get the root document element). The problem is that the node.getNamespaceURI() returns null for my intermediate document. If I copy the deepCloneDocument method and give it the correct namespace it still cannot work (as the child nodes also have a null namespace I presume) as the attributes are not copied across. The new document has a bunch of new attributes on the root svg element and also has the xmlns="<svg namespace>" repeated, I believe one has the null namespace and the other has the xmlns namespace I get the following exception when I attempt to import the root node of the document into yet another svg document. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractElement.fireDOMAttrModifiedEvent(AbstractElement.java:486) at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractElement$NamedNodeHashMap.setNamedItem(AbstractElement.java:677) at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractElement$NamedNodeHashMap.setNamedItemNS(AbstractElement.java:625) at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractElement.setAttributeNode(AbstractElement.java:168) at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractElement.copyInto(AbstractElement.java:407) at org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGOMElement.copyInto(SVGOMElement.java:203) at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractNode.cloneNode(AbstractNode.java:275) at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractDocument.importNode(AbstractDocument.java:211) Does anyone know if there is a way to handle this. I just want to get a batik dom svg document that is the equivalent of the svg that is embedded in the original document. I cannot create an svg document and then add or replace the root element as batik won't let me.
